Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the review.

For the generic snps,dw-apb-timers-pwm2 binding, both reset signals 
are now fully optional by not including resets in the required list.

When a single optional reset signal is used, the interface bus reset 
(index 0) is used by default.

Keep the YAML as follows:
+  resets:
+    minItems: 1
+    items:
+      - description: Interface bus reset
+      - description: PWM timer logic reset

Add the following description to the commit message:

Whether each signal is wired on a given SoC is a board integration 
decision, so the resets property is optional for snps,dw-apb-timers-pwm2. 
When present, up to two handles may be supplied: the bus reset is always 
at index 0 and the timer reset at index 1.

For the specific eswin,eic7700-pwm binding, the reset signal is required 
and fixed to one via conditional schema (if:then:), with maxItems: 1 
and resets added to required. And add an example for eswin,eic7700-pwm.
The changes are as follows:

+allOf:
+  - $ref: pwm.yaml#
+
+  - if:
+      properties:
+        compatible:
+          contains:
+            const: eswin,eic7700-pwm
+    then:
+      properties:
+        resets:
+          maxItems: 1
+      required:
+        - resets
+

+  - |
+    pwm@50818000 {
+      compatible = "eswin,eic7700-pwm";
+      reg = <0x50818000 0x4000>;
+      #pwm-cells = <3>;
+      clocks = <&bus>, <&timer>;
+      clock-names = "bus", "timer";
+      resets = <&reset>;
+    };

Then change the binding's subject from "dt-bindings: pwm: dwc: add optional 
reset" to "dt-bindings: pwm: dwc: add eswin,eic7700-pwm compatible and resets".

Do these changes look acceptable to you?
